Pokemon Sword and Shield Post Game Guide

After you’ve beaten the Champion Cup and completed the game’s main storyline, there’s still plenty to do in Pokémon Sword and Shield! We’ve put together a list of some of the post-game activities you can take part in once your League Challenge is over.

Obtain the Master Ball

Immediately after your victory, Professor Magnolia will visit your home in Postwick to give you a Master Ball – an extremely rare item that can capture any Pokémon without fail. You’ll probably want to save it for use on a Legendary Pokémon, like Zacian or Zamazenta, or a high-level Shiny Pokémon.

Get a Charmander from Leon

While you’re back in Postwick, stop by the upper floor of Hop’s house and pick up a free Charmander left for you by Leon! This special Charmander will be able to Gigantamax once it evolves into Charizard.

Take on the Battle Tower and receive Type: Null

The classic Battle Tower makes a return in Sword and Shield, replacing the Rose Tower in Wyndon after you complete the game. Here, you’ll have your Pokémon set to Level 50 and take on a gauntlet of extremely powerful Trainers in Single or Double Battles to earn BP (Battle Points). These can be exchanged for special rewards such as Mints and evolution items! You’ll also be able to obtain the unique Pokémon Type: Null from a trainer in the Battle Tower, as well as the Memory items used to change Type: Null’s type. The Battle Tower also lets you Hyper Train your Pokémon, improving their stat growth rates.
